According to (Jim) my sign-on data today, this is my 498th posting. Almost 500 online columns, in almost 500 days. There appears to be a bit of a pattern developing...

This was my second stab at modern technology, having already put up a website for my writing earlier. I had always planned to do the blog daily, but I've surprised even myself at the consistency (if only there was quality) of these ramblings. I've even posted one from my wireless handheld,so as not to miss a daily installment.

Who knew I had commitment within me?? Who knew I shouldn't maybe be committed??

Some postings have gone on to be full-fledged newspaper columns. Some others may eventually be revisited as well, who knows??

I've been pushed aside on weekends by an anorexic chain-smoking rubber chicken, and given some of the lamest concert reviews in written history.

Sorry, just a flush of nostalgia...sniff...sniff...

Even with some rainfall, it is still flippin' hot in here. Should hit the high 20's again today, although at the moment, Mother Nature's water tank has sprung an aggressive leak. Refreshing as the rain is, it won't last long enough to cool things down.

To make things even worse, looking out in our backyard this morning, I see that someone left a cake out.

In the rain!!

I don't think that I can take it....

Chow for now!!
